Illustrated in black-and-white. We're celebrating the thirty-fifth anniversary (1996) of this modern kids' classic with a special hardcover edition!

favorite book from my childhood
This is a great book for an adult who likes the idea of reading to kids, but finds the average kids' book vapid or badly written. As morals go,it's hard to object to the ones here: Wisdom requires Rhyme and Reason, as well as words and numbers. Words and numbers are both valuable. Life is full...

Great Read, Great Memories
I read this book in middle school, and it's still my favorite book.I've read all of the 1 star reviews, and I really think that the people who didn't enjoy this book need to give it another chance. Open your minds, and suspend your disbelief. Obviously, a child wouldn't just drive through a...

Where's my tollbooth?
I didn't know what to expect when picking up The Phantom Tollbooth.Sure, I had read it and loved it when I was younger. And the names Milo and Tock seemed vaguely familiar to me. But reading it again begged the question: Would I love it again?The answer? Hell yes.The premise of The Phantom...

Oh, the mem'ries
The phantom tollbooth has been one of my favorite books since the fourth grade, when my teacher read it to the class. We'd sit on the floor, or in desks, or wherever; at an age when most of us were growing out of being read aloud to, Mr. Vogel gave us great memories. He'd read things that, at our...

An Overlooked Classic
This is one of the most enjoyable books I have ever read. I never heard of it growing up, and my parents were diligent in providing us with the classics. Even today most of the customers in my bookstore don't know it exists. This is a crime, because it belongs right up there with Alice in...
